Conflicts

The Frieza Force (フリーザ軍,Furīza-gun, lit. "Freeza Army"), also referred to as the Galactic Frieza Army, Planet Trade Organization,[4] and previously the Cold Force (コルド軍,Korudo-gun, lit. "Cold Army")[5], is the organization run by Frieza, that at the peak of its power controlled a majority of Universe 7, who through the Frieza Force acts as emperor of the universe. King Cold was the leader of the Cold Force,[6] prior to passing control over to his son causing it to be renamed the Frieza Force. The army employs and enslaves powerful races, such as the Saiyans, to take over suitable planets so that they can be sold to the highest bidders. Frieza himself does not really consider his soldiers as an army, looking at them more as a convenient group of followers.[7] In reality, the soldiers follow him and his relatives out of fear though some soldiers are known to be fiercely loyal to Frieza such as the Ginyu Force. Frieza runs the Frieza Force as a meritocracy.[8]

Frieza's brother Cooler possessed his own sub-army within the Frieza Force: the Cooler Force.

Biography

Background

The army was controlled by the Frieza Clan for most of its known history. It is never stated when, where, or how the organization was formed; however, it is known that the group existed in at least some form for over two centuries. The earliest known activities of the Frieza Forces involved the ancestor of Frieza, Chilled, assaulting Planet Plant, which was at the time inhabited by the Plants (this attack was repelled by Bardock in a what-if scenario where he had been sent into the past).[9] During Chilled's reign, the army was little more of a band of space pirates lead by Chilled. However, by the reigns of King Cold and Frieza, it had become a significant military force.

Many formidable races are forced into the organization with the threat of their own planets' destruction if they do not comply. With their great power, Frieza and his family held an iron fist across the universe, controlling many worlds under one giant dictatorship, and using fear and power to get races to comply. Frieza alone is shown to be in control of at least 448 planets[10] and was known to control 70% of the universe at the Frieza Force's peak. Cooler is known to have been in control of at least 256, with no mention of how many King Cold owns. They are also shown destroying planets that they believe are not suitable for sale (Cooler states in his debut that he has several planets to destroy by the end of the day, and Vegeta and Nappa's reason for destroying Arlia is because it was unsuitable for sales). Besides its Dragon Balls, Frieza also determined Namek to be of little value thus he decided there was nothing to prevent him from destroy it once he acquired his wish (though after the Namekian Dragon Balls turned to stone, Frieza became focused on making his enemies suffer for denying him his wish and ultimately chose to destroy the planet once he was confronted by Super Saiyan Goku holding back only for fear he could have gotten caught in the blast, though the attack was still fatal to the planet which eventually exploded).

Additionally, as Beerus' Agent of Destruction, Frieza occasionally destroyed planets for the God of Destruction, which caused Beerus to tolerate Frieza and his empire as Frieza (and by extension Cooler according to Xenoverse 2) at the behest of his father wisely chose not to cross the Destroyer. It is implied that Beerus tolerance of Frieza and his army is what made it so successful, as Beerus himself could have easily destroy it and Frieza had he had bothered to do so (additionally, it was Beerus' assistance to the Z Fighters ultimately lead to Frieza and his army's second attack on Earth to end in failure and would succeeded were it not for Beerus and Whis' actions).

Mission on Planet Vegeta

Throughout the organization's existence, King Cold made a visit to Planet Vegeta to meet King Vegeta III who introduces his younger son Frieza to him and the Saiyans. He announced his retirement as the leader of the Cold Force and handed over the organization to Frieza, which renames it to the Frieza Force. His first order of business was to gift the Saiyans 500 scouters and after demonstrating his power, Frieza and his forces left the planet.

Later, after hearing of the legend of the Super Saiyan, Frieza decides to eliminate the Saiyan race to avoid any threats to his rule. He has an order sent out to command all Saiyans to return to Planet Vegeta.

Upon arriving back, Bardock realizes that Frieza may be planning to wipe out the Saiyans, and so he and his wife Gine choose to send their young son Kakarot away to Earth to keep him safe. The Saiyan prince Vegeta and his ally Raditz both hear the call back but chose not to respond to it, and stay on the planet they were conquering. Nappa - the general of the Saiyan army - also remains on his mission and does not return to the planet within the allotted time.

One month later, on Frieza's arrival to Planet Vegeta's orbit, [[King Vegeta and his men attempt an uprising both to end Frieza's reign and to rescue prince Vegeta, but it ended disastrously with the King and his soldiers being slaughtered by Frieza with only a single effortless punch as Zarbon and Dodoria watch.

Frieza suspected that other Saiyans would attempt to emulate King Vegeta's approach and commit a full-scale uprising, a suspicion confirmed when he was confronted by a charging Bardock, lunging through the fields of Frieza's men in defiance of the tyrant, and even goes as far as to fire a Final Spirit Cannon at him after giving a heart-felt speech declaring that the Saiyan race is done working for Frieza. The tyrant retaliated by laughing maniacally with delight as he prepared a Supernova to annihilate the planet. The attack consumes Bardock and some of his men as it buries itself deep beneath the planet's surface resulting in a massive explosion, eradicating nearly every Saiyan. Frieza remarked that he felt so much better after its destruction.

Failure on Namek

Frieza with his top two henchmen, Zarbon, and Dodoria

Frieza had brought his forces to Namek in December of Age 762 in order to use the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality after he overheard the transmissions between Raditz's scouter to Vegeta's and Nappa's ones. However, the Dragon Team coincidentally came to Namek at the same time in order to wish their fallen comrades back to life who were killed in the battle against the Saiyans on Earth. Vegeta also travels to Namek to use the Dragon Balls with the same intention as Frieza, immortality. In the ensuing battle, all of Frieza's forces on the planet are killed including Zarbon, Dodoria, Cui, Appule, and the entire Ginyu Force are all killed by Vegeta, save for Captain Ginyu who ends up trapped in the body of a frog. In the final battle, Frieza alone battles against Goku, who had become a Super Saiyan after Frieza had murdered Krillin. In a last ditch effort, Frieza tries to blow Namek up by destroying the core, and after a continuing fight, Frieza is cut in two by his own attack, and Goku leaves him for dead, though not before showing Frieza some mercy after he pleaded for his life, by transferring some his ki to Frieza. However, unwilling to accept defeat, Frieza attempts to kill Goku with an Last Emperor, only for the Super Saiyan to counter with his Angry Kamehameha. Namek explodes minutes later, and Frieza is believed to have perished.

Attack on Earth

Frieza and his father heading to Earth

After Porunga tells everyone that Goku is still alive and will return to Earth by his own means, Vegeta uses the spaceship constructed by Bulma's father and leaves for outer space in search of Goku. On his way, he finds the last remaining soldiers of Frieza and kills them.

After his defeat, Frieza drifted in pieces through space, unconscious and near death. Fortunately for him, his father King Cold learned of his defeat and searched through space hoping to find his son still alive. When Frieza was found, he was pieced back together using mechanical parts. Frieza then only had one thing on his mind... revenge.

Frieza, King Cold and their soldiers on Earth

A short time later, Frieza and King Cold arrived on Earth, aiming to kill Goku and destroy the planet. However, this would be interrupted by the time traveling son of Vegeta, Future Trunks. Almost effortlessly, Trunks killed Frieza and his father, King Cold, thus putting an end to their terrible reign over the universe, but not before destroying their spaceship and killing all their soldiers. Goku then returned to Earth, was given the information about future events, and peace was restored.

Downfall

After the death of Frieza, the army began to fall into shambles and also split into several factions. The factions who were known to have survived the initial falling apart from Frieza's death were Cooler and his armored squadron, staff officer Sorbet and those who would follow him, the executive duo of brothers Abo and Kado, and Frieza's personal Guard Troops who were led by Wada and those allied with them.

Some time later (between Age 766-Age 767), Frieza's brother Cooler targeted Earth looking for revenge against Goku for humiliating his family. However, he proved to be no match for Goku's Super Saiyan power, and just like his father and brother, was defeated and seemingly killed.

Cooler on Earth in his final form

He managed to survive and he too was saved by the use of mechanical parts, only he was saved by the Big Gete Star, which he effectively became one with, allowing him to create mechanical clones of himself called Meta-Coolers and a robotic army of Cyclopian Guards. After attempting to destroy New Namek and use it for fuel, Goku and the Z Fighters arrived to stop the threat. Once again it was Goku and Vegeta who defeated and this time finally killed Cooler.

During this period several of the Frieza Force's allied races were shown to join the short-lived "New Saiyan Empire".

Remnants and resurgence

Frieza's army remnants: Abo & Kado

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, after the Majin Buu Saga, when Appule is brought back he will take command over the Frieza Force remnants on Earth, proclaiming himself Frieza's successor as emperor of the universe, however he is defeated by Gohan.

Years later during the special, Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, dated to Age 776, the twin brother duo of Abo and Kado, old elite henchmen of Frieza, who once ranked with the Ginyu Force arrived on Earth after their Attack on Planet Tech-Tech was put on hold due to Tarble and Gure's escape to Earth. They fought Trunks and Goten but were proven no match for the young Saiyan-Human hybrids. After fusing into Aka and going wild, Goku eventually stepped in and defeated the duo. After their defeat the two reformed and joined the good guys at Mr. Satan's hotel banquet before leaving Earth to earn a fresh start.

Later in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, it's manga adaptation and the anime adaption Golden Frieza Saga (Age 779), it is revealed that the army's empire is actually divided into stellar regions in structure and Sorbet who once served as the Staff Officer of the third stellar region is now the standing-in leader of the Frieza Force, he's shown having trouble keeping all of the occupied planets in line. He receives a report that the rebellion on Planet Frieza No. 448 has become too fierce to contain and since the Frieza Force is spread thin they cannot send enough back up to re-occupy the planet.

Frieza and his army attack Earth once more

Sorbet asks if any of the army spy satellites have located the Namekian planet, as Sorbet plans to resurrect Frieza in order to return the Frieza Force to its former glory, however they have not and so Sorbet finally decides that they will risk going to Earth and using their Dragon Balls. Sorbet and his strongest soldier Tagoma head to earth and manage to revive Frieza using the Dragon Balls in order to have him bring his forces back to power. Upon his revival Frieza re-takes leadership of the organization and then decides to train in order to become strong enough to defeat the Saiyans, as he needs revenge on them and they are the only ones who are truly a threat to his organization. Frieza then heads off to train for four months. In preparation for his invasion of Earth, Frieza gathers a force of 1,000 soldiers, most are merely second-rate warriors, though several more powerful mercenaries were also included in the invasion force[11] and turns them into his New Frieza Army.

Golden Frieza fights Super Saiyan Blue Goku

Four months later, Frieza and the New Frieza Army attack Earth in order for Frieza to get his revenge on the Saiyans. Jaco comes to Earth as fast as he could and informs Bulma about Frieza's arrival, she contacts the Z Fighters who alongside Jaco gathered to fight them near North City (which was destroyed by Frieza's Death Beam) are proven too powerful for the 1,000 soldiers army but fight as non-lethally as possible to draw time for Goku and Vegeta make it back to Earth from their training on Beerus' Planet. The battle between the Z Fighters and Frieza's army draws to a close after a confrontation with Frieza's elites: Shisami, Tagoma, and Captain Ginyu. However, when Frieza enters the battle personally his new power is shown even stronger than Super Saiyan Gohan even in just his first form, but he realize it won't do against his father so he transforms into his final form to fight Goku, but the Saiyan still proves too strong for him. Once Frieza transforms once more into his Golden Frieza state and fights against Super Saiyan Blue Goku on par after having the lead in the beginning, but Sorbet uses their plan B and attack Goku's chest while he was off-guard from behind, giving the tyrant the advantage he needed, Vegeta steps in after he learned that Golden Frieza's weakness is that his stamina is dropping fast due to not mastering this new form, also transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and effortlessly defeats Golden Frieza, but before Vegeta could execute him, the latter had a trick in his sleeve and he used his remaining energy to blow up the Earth's core causing Vegeta and the entire planet's inhabitants (except for the people who stood next to Beerus and Whis' protecting shield) to die as a result, while he himself survives the explosion. Whis used his time reverse technique so Goku will have the chance to kill Frieza before he explode the planet, which he does with ease, destroying Frieza again.

Before the Tournament of Power begins, Beerus had voiced his anger in the Capsule Corp. that the Dragon Team had destroyed the Frieza Force during Frieza's revenge - noting that they might have supplied them some contestants for their Team Universe 7. Krillin mentions that some of the Frieza Force whom he faced on Earth were indeed tough; and Vegeta state that the entire Frieza Force combatants were most likely wiped out on Earth, noting he does not think that Frieza's non-combatant followers are dead.[12]

The resurrected Emperor of the Universe

In the aftermath of the Tournament of Power, Frieza is resurrected by Whis due to Beerus' orders as thanks for helping Universe 7 win, with Frieza vowing to the rest of the team he will not renounce his tyrannical ways. Later, a massive group of soldiers surround Frieza's spaceship, with Frieza declaring that "The emperor of the universe has returned!" The Frieza Force having restored to its former glory, Frieza begins to retake everything his empire lost.

Discovery of Universe 7's Legendary Saiyan

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, it is revealed that Frieza is working on rebuilding the Frieza Force and reviving his universal empire with his old attendant Berryblue and top scientist Kikono acting as his trusted aids and advisors. This results in Frieza Force focusing on recruiting new members due to Frieza having killed the soldiers who participated in Frieza's revenge. Having heard rumors of Frieza and his return a young female delinquent named Cheelai steals a Galactic Patrol spaceship and joins the Frieza Force. She is soon teamed up with Lemo an old veteran Rear Guard member of Frieza Force and sent on a mission to scout planets for powerful fighters to join the Frieza Force. Eventually they receive a old Frieza Force distress signal coming from planetoid Vampa and decide to investigate. Their they find an old Frieza Force ship and meet an elderly Saiyan soldier named Paragus whom they discover is a mid-class soldier and former Saiyan Army Colonel with a power level of 4,200 while he's over 80 years old and not in the best physical health (Paragus was also amazed that he was located after more than 40 years). Cheelai and Lemo are overjoyed by their fortune as Paragus is experienced and managed to survive being stranded on uncivilized world like Vampa for years, as well as being eager to return to serving Frieza. However Vampa Beetles attack their ship though Paragus shouts to his adult son Broly who rushes to their aid and effortlessly kills the beetle threatening their ship. Paragus introduces them to his son who had been banished to Vampa by King Vegeta five years before Planet Vegeta's destruction. Cheelai and Lemo inform Paragus of his homeworld's destruction by a "meteor", though Paragus himself had left the Saiyan Army to save his son and despised King Vegeta for Broly's banishment. Cheelai and Lemo are shocked to discover Broly's power level is beyond their scouters' ability to calculate after they both get a blank reading which they interpret as being too high for their scouters' to measure. They decide to take both Saiyan survivors off of Vampa to introduce them to their leader Frieza.

Meanwhile, Frieza sends two of his weaker grunts to Earth to covertly steal the Dragon Radar from the Capsule Corporation and use it to collect the Dragon Balls for Frieza who after his time spent in Hell decides against wishing for immortality and dismisses kikono's suggestion of wishing to become invulnerable as it would make his life too boring. Berryblue fearlessly suggests Frieza desires to make his True Form taller as she knows he is sensitive about his height though Frieza surprisingly admits he plans to wish to be five centimeters taller as any more would be too noticeable. However Trunks and the Pilaf Gang inform Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, Beerus, Whis of the Radar's disappearance from her lab along with the six dragon balls she had collected. Frieza's henchmen are recorded on security video causing Vegeta to suspect that Frieza seeks them once again to acquire immortality causing Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, and Whis to race to the final dragon ball on the Ice Continent, while leaving Beerus' to baby-sit Bulla on Bulma's private island.

Frieza welcomes Cheelai, Lemo, and the Saiyans they discovered learning of both Broly's high power and Paragus' hatred of King Vegeta. Frieza informs Paragus of Prince Vegeta's survival and offers to assist Paragus and Broly in taking revenge on the son of the man who banished Broly to Vampa, though Frieza makes it clear that only he can kill the Saiyan named Goku. Paragus reveals that he removed his son's tail to prevent Broly from going berserk as a Great Ape and that he created a improvised shock collar to control his more powerful son. Frieza decides to test Broly's power against Vegeta learn the depths of Broly's Saiyan potential once his henchmen locate the final Dragon Ball. Broly and Paragus are provided with new Frieza Force Battle Armor while Cheelai and Lemo paid handsomely for finding the two Saiyan survivors. However Paragus keeps Broly on a short leash even forbidding him from even speaking to their saviors Cheelai and Lemo went they inadvertently encounter them in the mess hall of Frieza Force mothership. This results in an argument between Cheelai and Paragus over his treatment of Broly after he uses the remote to shock Broly when he defends Cheelai from the unwanted advances of a drunk Combatant named Daigen who was hitting on her. Cheelai however manages to swipe the remote from Paragus without him realizing it. Cheelai destroys the remote in front of Broly and Lemo while Paragus is meeting with Frieza resulting in Cheelai and Lemo befriending Broly who they discover is actually a gentle hearted Saiyan who Paragus forced to train to become a warrior so he could use him to take his revenge. However Broly remains loyal to his father despite the destruction of the remote and Paragus' treatment of him.

Eventually Frieza's lackeys find the final Dragon Ball and Frieza travels to Earth with Paragus and Broly. Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Whis arrive to stop Frieza's henchmen only for Frieza to dramatically announce his arrival with a Petite Supernova and takes the Dragon Balls using telekinesis. He then proceeds introduce them to his new Saiyan subordinates. Paragus recognizes Vegeta due to his resemblance to his father and arrogant attitude. Frieza reveals Broly and Paragus' history to Vegeta and Goku though Vegeta doesn't care about Paragus' desire for revenge while Goku suggests they try and get along as they are fellow Saiyans. Seeing Broly seething with anger, Paragus orders Broly to attack Vegeta. Broly manages to pressure Vegeta in his base form, though Vegeta eventually transforms into a Super Saiyan. Paragus is shocked by the transformation which Frieza reveals is the Super Saiyan form though Paragus cannot believe he is looking at one and informs Frieza that neither he nor Broly were aware it existed due to Paragus regarding it as a myth. However Broly eventually manages to get stronger as he fights forcing Vegeta to use his Super Saiyan God form. Believing Broly has reached the end of his power Frieza suggests they withdraw however Broly refuses to back down and Paragus discovers his remote is missing causing him to futilely beg Broly to retreat. Despite Goku's protests to stop, SSG Vegeta fires his God Heat Flash at Broly to finish him off causing Broly to fall into a frozen lake. However Broly survives and transforms into a Wrath State which Paragus theorizes is the result of Broly gaining the ability to control the power of the Great Ape in human form without the bulky transformation though as a result one one can control Broly. Excited by the depths of Broly's strength, Goku joins the fight and challenges Broly who becomes angered by Goku's interruption. Goku is soon forced to go Super Saiyan before progressing to Super Saiyan God. Eventually Goku uses God Bind to paralyze Broly. Goku then proceeds to try and talk sense into Broly recognizing he's a good person deep down. Kikono and Paragus fear Broly may be convinced to switch sides, but Frieza laughs and sure enough Broly gets angry enough to break free. While Frieza allows Kikono, Cheelai, and Lemo move the ship and the Dragon Balls to safety after the plateau it is sitting on begins to break apart, he and Paragus remain behind to watch as Broly grows larger as hie taps into more of his power while fighting SSG Goku. Goku is contacted telepathically by Piccolo who senses the battle. Goku informs Piccolo that if things go south he'll teleport to Piccolo's location with Instant Transmission causing Piccolo to realize that things must be really bad for Goku to have an escape plan. Goku then proceeds to transform into his Super Saiyan Blue form. The battle continues altering the landscape around them while SSB Goku struggles against Broly.

As SSB Goku starts to pressure Broly, Paragus begins to fear King Vegeta may have been right about Broly's power being dangerous and confirms to Frieza that Broly has reached the end. However this situation reminds Frieza of Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation being triggered by Frieza's murder of Krillin. Frieza then proceeds to murder Paragus and calls out to Broly while feigning panic and distress as he lies to Broly claiming a stray blast from the fight killed him. Frieza's plan works as Broly's grief and anger trigger his transformation into a Super Saiyan which forces SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta to team up to combat SSJ Broly. However their combined attack proves ineffective against Broly forcing them to retreat flying past Frieza as they do so only for SSJ Broly to forget them and mindlessly attacks Frieza. Goku uses instant transmission to teleport himself and Vegeta to Piccolo in order to practice the Fusion Dance with reluctant Vegeta while SSJ Broly fights with True Golden Frieza. After two failed attempts they succeed and fuse into Gogeta. Meanwhile SSJ Broly manages to beat Frieza out of his true Golden form and turns his attention to Whis who uses Autonomous Ultra Instinct to keep Broly preoccupied. Gogeta teleports to battleground and encounters the battered Frieza who questions who Gogeta is causing him to explain he is the Metamoran fusion of Vegeta and Goku before turning his attention to Broly as Whis bows out. Gogeta initially fIghts Broly in his base form before transforming into his Super Saiyan form. SSJ Gogeta dominates him as their power causes the fabric of reality to begin to collapse and shatter like glass. Broly however transforms into his Legendary Super Saiyan form for the first time. Gogeta responds by going Super Saiyan Blue and they clash through several dimensions before ending up back on Earth.

Frieza and his forces attack a planet 3 days after Broly left his ranks

Fearing their new friend Broly will be killed, Cheelai and Lemo decide to save him from dying to the point of forcing their superior Kikono at gunpoint to tell them how to summon Shenron. As SSB Gogeta fires his Full-Force Kamehameha at Broly, Cheelai wishes Broly safely back home to Vampa. Due to their unauthorized use of the Dragon Balls, Cheelai and Lemo defect from the Frieza Force and flee from Earth, with Gogeta preventing Frieza from shooting them down. Frieza decides to retreat though swears to Gogeta he will return someday. Meanwhile Cheelai and Lemo decide to live on Vampa under Broly's protection. Fortunately, Frieza decides to leave the traitors be as he lead his forces to conquer another helpless planet, however he expresses his hopes to Berryblue and Kikono that Broly's new friends may be able to tame the Legendary Super Saiyan enough that he may one day serve Frieza. However this may prove unlikely as Goku travels to Vampa to provide them with a Capsule House, supplies, and food provided by Bulma. Though Cheelai is distrustful of Goku, he manages to befriend Broly who he offers to train to control and master his newfound power as he was impressed by Broly's potential.

Joining the Time Breaker Alliance

Wada, the leader of the Guard Troops in Dragon Ball Online

Prior to the events of Dragon Ball Online, in Age 820, remnants of the Galactic Frieza Army - controlled by Frieza and Cold's Guard Troops - attacked Earth, resulting in a full scale planetary war and an onslaught of numerous people. Finally, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Gohan, Pan and the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School, a martial arts school created by Trunks and Goten, engaged in the final battle against the remains of Frieza's army and managed to defeat them. However, the army survived and went into hiding. By the time of Age 910, the Galactic Frieza Army who had been hiding on Earth began expanding their influence, with Booby Island as their center. By the time of Age 1000 they were a major faction once again and are one of the many antagonistic forces attempting to gain control over the planet.

Eventually, Frieza's Army remnants joined forces with the Time Breakers - with the goal of resurrecting Frieza once more - and became integrated as one of the many factions under the joint group. Frieza's army began doing numerous missions for the Time Breakers, including the construction of Chocolay Tower and various invasions. During the construction of Chocolay Tower, Frieza Soldiers tried to collect the Dudekamin to help grow the ajisa trees faster, but they were run off by one of their own - Fry. The army also spend time searching for any remains of Frieza himself, that they can use to revive him, eventually some of the members of the army used the Time Breakers technology to travel back to the era when Frieza was alive, and collected several of Frieza's remains in order to bring him back to life in Age 1000.[13]

Armor and Technology

Toobi and Cabira's round spaceship

The organization uses many different types of technologies. These include the Attack Balls that were used as the Saiyans' primary means of interplanetary travel. Multiple types of round spaceships are utilized, such as the smaller variety (like the one used by Bardock) and the larger variety (used by Frieza and Cold), the larger variety was given an upgrade in Age 780. There are also Transport Ships. Hovercars equipped with blasters were also utilized for combat.

Frieza Force hovercar

The scouters, devices developed by the Tuffles which were initially Scout-Scopes, are used mostly for calculating the individual Power Level or ki concentration of biological creatures. Originally, it was a device for the purpose of guarding against enemies and beasts, but Kikono and Gichamu, a highly skilled engineer in Frieza's army, laid eyes on it and made modifications for concrete battle power numbers and telecommunications abilities, and soldiers began making use of it to carry out offensives.[14]

Warrior members, such as the Saiyans, are seen wearing different types of armor, and this armor is used as something of a uniform by members of the organization. Those armors were given to the Saiyans by the Arcosians, apparent members of the organization. They use humanoid plant creatures called Saibamen to test an opponent's fighting skill. The Saibamen were developed as bio-weapons by a Saiyan scientist in Age 737,[6] and made their way into the Galactic Frieza Army through the Saiyans.[15]

The Frieza Force also possessed enough scientific prowess to create cyborgs using technology like the Cosmic Suit. They also possessed advanced battle robots, with the most advanced being Compression-01.

Following his defeat on Earth, Cooler was absorbed by the Big Gete Star, gaining access to all of it's technology.

Assist Drone

Attack Drone

Recovery Drone

1 of 3

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the Frieza Force utilizes small unmanned patrol planes as different types of Drones. Attack Drone are drones that while weak on their own can prove powerful in large numbers. Assist Drone are support drones that have the ability to boost their allies base power level. Recovery Drone are combat medical drones that are the go-to device for health recovery (as Medical Machines are designed for more intensive care while Recovery Drones act as first aid medical units utilized on the front lines). Additionally smaller versions of Frieza's Spaceship act as floating bases during invasions and colonization which are often set up by Frieza Force Grunts deployed to colonized worlds.

Races Enslaved and Involved

"Listen! Don't you men get it!? There are no individual races anymore! There are only two kinds of people now! Those who obey Frieza, and those who disobey him...and they never live very long! So which kind of people are we? Do we support Frieza? Good! It's better than dying, take my word. Now get back to work, you bums."
— Planet Frieza 79 Commander explaining Frieza's men that individual races no longer exist in the army.

Frieza's soldiers

There are many races enslaved in the organization, most notably the Saiyans. These races are employed in different ways depending on their strength. Groups like the Saiyans, who are shown to have great fighting abilities, are given many freedoms for showing their worth by conquering and destroying planets. All three leaders are shown to have their select armies, workers, and technicians. Many powerful and high-ranking members such as Zarbon and Dodoria, who accompany Frieza at all times, are known to be loyal followers who are shown mercy and named right-hand men in return. They, like many others, enjoy their work of pillaging and murdering with no remorse. Many other members of some races are hired for combat, such as the Ginyu Force, Cooler's Armored Squadron or the brother duo of Abo and Kado. The leaders are also shown creating super elite groups to do dirty work, such as the group of warriors that killed Bardock's team or Cooler's Armored Squadron. The commander of Planet Frieza 79 also implied that, because of Frieza's absolute control over the organization, even the mere concept of separate races had zero meaning within the Frieza Force, and only whether members were fully obedient to Frieza truly mattered in the end, and proceeded to prove his claim by killing a fellow survivor of his species who spoke ill of Frieza (as their species had been virtually wiped out by the tyrant in the past).

During the Battle on Planet Namek it is implied that should Frieza come across a warrior with a high power level or strong fighting ability, Frieza may offer them a job in his organization, such as his desire to have Namekian Warrior Nail join his organization due to his high power level and even offered Goku a chance to join his organization after he had proved himself to be stronger than Captain Ginyu, though of course Goku refused. His father also made a similar offer to Future Trunks, although in that case, it was heavily implied that King Cold had been trying to trick the boy into letting his guard down to allow for an easy kill.

When Frieza was revived in Resurrection ‘F’, he implies that a lot of the soldiers present, or at least those who were currently composed of his army, were forced to join. Similarly, the Funimation dub for the episode "The End of Vegeta" has Vegeta on his deathbed strongly implying that his evil nature had been forced onto him by Frieza.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Cheelai joins the Frieza Force after stealing a Galactic Patrol spaceship, implying that wanted criminals can join the Frieza Force as a way to avoid arrest and gain employment. Additionally, it is revealed by Lemo and Berryblue, that it is unwise to mock Frieza's height as it is a virtual death sentence as Frieza is sensitive about his height. Additionally Lemo notes that Frieza had killed soldiers for minor offenses such as bad breath (though Vegeta noted Guldo had bad breath, it is unknown if it bothered Frieza as Saiyans have a heightened sense of smell, though if it did then Frieza tolerated it due to his loyalty and elite status) thus it is wise for members to learn to avoid upsetting Frieza. Additionally, before the Saiyan Genocide, Bardock admonished Leek for talking bad about Frieza when his Scouter was on noting that Scouter communications can be intercepted and could get back to Frieza (in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot it is revealed that Attack Balls have communication chips that record Scouter transmissions as Gohan finds a burnt chip from the wreckage of Raditz's Spaceship that Bulma recovers audio from indicating that members of the Frieza Force are being both monitored and their Scouter communications recorded showing that Bardock's warning to Leek was well advised due to the possibility of it being recorded). However, Frieza is shown to be more forgiving after his second revival due to the fact his army is low on manpower and he decides to let the deserters Cheelai and Lemo live with Broly on Vampa hoping they might be able to tame him indicating he decided against killing them after Gogeta stopped him from destroying them as they fled Earth. Additionally, Frieza would likely wishe to avoid harming them given their friendship with Broly who is stronger than True Golden Frieza, even though he still hopes that Broly will one days serve under him, having recognized his potential as a soldier.

However, being a member of the Frieza Force does not completely protect one from being killed or arrested by the Galactic Patrol, which sent Jaco to Earth to kill the Saiyan Kakarot (ironically the boy was sent their unauthorized in a stolen space pod by his parents to save him from Frieza's planned Genocide which Bardock suspected due to his orders and inquiries into the Super Saiyan legend) and arrested Cranberry who in Dragon Ball Super was resurrected by Shenron due to being killed by a kick from Zarbon during the Battle on Planet Namek and escaped Namek's Destruction in an Attack Ball before being defeated and arrested by Jaco, though he later escaped from prison with the ancient wizard Planet Eater Moro joining him in his invasion of New Namek only to be killed by Moro once he regained his full magic power. However, Cranberry was arrested after Frieza's defeat on Namek which likely made the Galactic Patrol more willing to oppose the Frieza Force given Jaco was sent to Earth to aid the Dragon Team against Frieza's revenge after his first resurrection.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Frieza seeks out the Future Warrior to join his organization after hearing of the Warrior's strength from Captain Ginyu and even decides to train the Warrior personally and upon completing their training, Frieza appoints the Warrior as a member of Frieza's Honor Guard. Frieza also expresses his desire to have the Shadow Dragon, Omega Shenron his subordinate upon learning his role in the Shadow Dragon's birth (as the wish that created Syn Shenron was the result of Frieza and forces murderous actions on Namek), should they fight one another.[16]

In Xenoverse 2, a Time Rift anomaly forms around Frieza's Spaceship from an unknown timeline after a Distorted Time Egg is smuggled aboard by Time Breakers, causing the rift to appear in Conton City in Age 852. The Time Rift is contained inside a Time Miniature by Time Patrol who send Patrollers in to investigate the cause. If the Future Warrior is a member of Frieza's Race they are sent to investigate this anomaly during the game's prologue. They see Ginyu playing drill sergeant to a group of low ranking soldiers as Frieza walks by and comments how the ranks of his army swell by the day yet skilled warriors are regrettably hard to come by and decides he will have to take matters into his own hands. Before the Warrior can investigate further, Elder Kai informs them they have been selected for a critical mission and the warrior returns to Conton City to take on their new assignment. While the Warrior away another group of Time Patrollers is sent to investigate which includes Aoh of the Murasaki Brothers, as well as Tyno and Ias of the Taino Force, along with several other members. Later Chronoa allows the Warrior to investigate the time rift anomalies at their leisure. Returning to Frieza's ship, Aoh informs them that in order to investigate without interference from Frieza, they must go undercover and join the Frieza force which happens to be recruiting. After passing Frieza's test, the Future Warrior joins Frieza's army but soon gets caught up in a power struggle between different factions lead by Dodoria and Zarbon. The Future Warrior can select which faction they decide to join, which will change the missions they take on while investigating Frieza's ship (if they choose Zarbon they will fight Dodoria and his faction, and vice verse if they select Dodoria). Either way the Warrior will eventually grow tired of working under whomever they select and will challenge them to takeover their position and which causes them to be recruited by Ginyu as the newest member of the Ginyu Force. Eventually Cooler will appear on board to try and convince the Future Warrior to join his faction and take control over the army from Frieza. The Warrior can choose to side with either Frieza or Cooler which will result in a fight with which ever one of the two brothers the Warrior did not choose. After words they will assist the leader of their chosen faction in several training sessions to allow their leader to unlock their strongest form (Golden Frieza or Metal Cooler). After helping them achieve this, Navel will reveal the existence of the Distorted Time Egg and give it to the Warrior. If the Future Warrior is a member of Frieza's Race, then they can take on an additional mission that allows them to obtain their Turn Golden form.

In the main story, Towa offers Cooler a chance to travel to Dying Namek in Age 762, allowing him to assist his brother in his historic battle with Super Saiyan Goku. Fortunately, the Future Warrior was already in that period trying to fix changes caused by Towa's Dark Magic, preventing Cooler and Frieza from killing Goku. Eventually Cooler is defeated and fells into the molten core of New Namek, just as Frieza notices the revived Porunga. The Future Warrior is asked by Goku to leave Frieza's defeat up to him. However this would not be the last time Cooler would cause trouble for the Time Patrol. In Age 767, a wormhole allows Cooler to send an army of Metal Coolers from New Namek to compete in the Cell Games. After defeating the Metal Coolers that came through the wormhole, the warrior uses it to travel to New Namek where they join Future Trunks in fighting against the Metal Coolers. While the Warrior takes on the Metal Coolers, Future Trunks sneaks into the Big Gete Star and uses his technological skills to hack into the Big Gete Star's systems and plant a computer virus that causes it to self-destruct destroying Metal Cooler Core and his army. However Towa altered history again, causing Cooler to be revived in Age 779 along with his brother allowing him to join in Frieza's revenge against Goku and allowing them to restore their family's honor. Cooler upgraded himself into Metal Cooler and joined Golden Frieza in fighting Goku, however Vegeta and the Future Warrior step in to face Cooler allowing Goku to deal with Frieza. However Towa hacks into the Time Nest's communications and tricks Whis and Beerus into leaving by pretending to be Chronoa and telling them that the Time Breakers are attacking the Time Nest, allowing Frieza to kill Goku and the assembled Z-Fighters with his Earth Breaker due to Whis' absence. However Future Trunks manages to transport the Future Warrior back to Age 852 just in time and Towa's deception is revealed, allowing Beerus and Whis return with the Warrior to Age 779 and use Whis' Temporal Do-Over to rewind time allowing the Future Warrior to stop Frieza's attack with an energy wave. As a result, Golden Frieza and Metal Cooler take on their Supervillain forms, but are ultimately defeated and killed by the combined might of Goku, Vegeta, and the Future Warrior.

According to the timeline of Dragon Ball Online, the Galactic Frieza Army utilized Jigglers during their assault on Earth as a means of countering martial artists, as Jigglers were impervious to most basic attacks.

In Dragon Ball Fusions, there is a Namekian survivor named Fargo whose character profile reveals he was put onto a spaceship as a baby (like the Nameless Namekian) and was picked up by the Frieza Force who raised him into soldier, showing that the army is willing to indoctrinate children into its ranks like they did with Fargo and by extension a young Prince Vegeta (though in Vegeta's case this was common practice among the Saiyans) and raise them as child soldiers (presumably if they prove strong enough and manage to survive).

In Kakarot, members of Appule's race appear as Grunts, Guards, Scouts, and Guerrillas with Guerrillas being the strongest while Grunts are the weakest. Additionally, a Chef named Melone joins the Frieza Force to get assigned to invade Namek in order to search for rare fruits that grow there even risking going AWOL to do so. However, the fruits have the ability to empower members of Melone's race causing their power level to skyrocket thus explaining his willingness to risk being executed for desertion. However, when he can't find them he becomes fearful and fears Gohan and Krillin are soldiers due to them wearing Battle Armor at the time, though after revealing the truth to them, they help him acquire the fruit. However, when he reveals the fruits effects on his race, Krillin and Gohan fear they were tricked due to Melone's evil sounding laugh, though Melone thanks them by making them the Ultimate Fruit Juice using the three fruits they collected for him. Afterward, Krillin and Gohan note they're sure there are a lot of weird people among the ranks of the Frieza Force. Melone's evil laugh and look likely helped him blend in with the other members of the Frieza Force, despite him bring relatively nice and friendly compared to most Combatants. Additionally, during the post Frieza Saga Intermission in Age 763 (during Intermissions the Dragon Balls become unusable again after 20 minutes of real world time thus allowing multiple wishes to be made that year due to game mechanics). Piccolo uses the Dragon Balls to revive Raditz whom he convinces to train with the Z Fighters after defeating him, while Gohan revives Nappa, Dodoria, Zarbon, and the deceased Ginyu Force members to give them a second chance which they accept after being defeated by Gohan, who is as strong as Third Form Frieza, thus they agree to change their evil ways to avoid being killed again, though they mainly do so out of fear and self preservation. By Age 774, Appule is revived and becomes leader of the Frieza Force remnants on Earth.

Leadership and Ranking

The three most well known leaders of the organization Frieza, Cold, and Cooler

The following are known leaders of the army, they usually hold the rank of Emperor, with the exception of interim leaders (like Sorbet), and groups who act as equally ranked leaders (such as the guard troops):

Chilled - The first known leader, became leader at some point prior to Age 550 and also died at some point prior to this year.

King Cold - The second known leader, became leader at some point after Chilled's death and gave the position to Frieza before Age 737.

Frieza - The third known leader, became leader at some point before Age 737 and lost the position upon his death in Age 764. He was referred to as the "Emperor of the Seventh Universe". He regained position upon his revival in Age 779, but lost it upon dying again in that year. Revived again in Age 780 and quickly rebuilt the Frieza Force.

Frost - In Dragon Ball Legends, took control of the pre-Battle of Namek Frieza Force when they were transported to the Tournament of Time by acting as Frieza. Killed by the real Frieza.

Remnant leaders - After the death of Frieza in Age 764, the remnants of the Frieza Force were overtaken by numerous different leaders.

Sorbet - Became stand-in leader upon Frieza's death in Age 764, gave the position back to Frieza upon his revival in Age 779. Garana served as Sorbet's second in command in the manga until he was killed by Universe 6 God of Destruction Champa while leading a search team to locate New Namek in Age 778.

Guard Troops - In Dragon Ball Online, took control of the organization after Frieza's death in Age 764, lost it after being killed off in Ages 820 and 1000. The highest ranked guard troop in Age 1000 being Wada - who commanded all of Frieza's Army remnants. They planned to revive Frieza and have him re-take control.

Cooler - The film antagonist and brother of Frieza, Cooler leads the Cooler Force sub-faction of the Frieza Force, and retained control over it following Frieza's first death.

Appule - In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, took control of the Frieza Force remnants on Earth after being revived in Age 774.

The Ginyu Force are of "High Level Executive-Class",[6] with Ginyu as their Captain and Frieza's right-hand, Abo and Kado also rank the same as the normal Ginyu Force members. Zarbon and Dodoria both act as personal Aides for Frieza and so rank highly as Commanders.[21] Zarbon is also the reconnaissance leader of the Frieza Force, while Dodoria acts as enforcer.[22] Sorbet once acted as the Staff Officer of the third stellar region and became both stand-in leader and Supreme Commander after Frieza's first death, Tagoma acted as the right-hand of Sorbet during his time as stand-in leader and supreme commander, and later became supreme commander himself in exchange for facing the Z Fighters, Shisami was the one who managed the Frieza Army's fleet in the time after Frieza's first death. The likes of Cui and Vegeta (during his time as part of the army) are both ranked as elite combatants, the likes of Appule, Raspberry, Nappa, and Raditz are mid-level combatant soldiers, and at the very bottom of the army's hierarchy are the low-level combatant soldiers. During King Cold's time there was also a rear guard, of which Lemo was a part of.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Frieza is linked with a human soul after being revived by Porunga. As Frieza cannot move or fight without the soul's assistance, the soul has a certain amount of control over Frieza's actions and thus by extension some control over other revived Frieza Force members such as the Ginyu Force and Nappa. Though Frieza does his best to intimidate them he is forced to occasionally go along with their decisions such as agreeing to team up with Goku and the Z Fighters to combat a shared enemy.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot reveals several different types and ranks of combatants: Grunt (Appule's Race), Guard (Appule's Race), Scout (Appule's Race), Guerrilla (Appule's Race), Officer, Corporal, Sergeant, Commando, Super Commando, and Elite Commando. Grunts are identical to Appule and like him are they are classified in the Z-Encyclopedia as low-ranking soldiers that are usually assigned to establish bases on colonized worlds among other tasks. However Appule would later take control of the Frieza Force remnants on Earth in Age 774.

Kakarot – Infiltration baby, suffered amnesia and defected (trip to Earth unauthorized in both Dragon Ball Minus and Broly, as Bardock and Gine secretly sent Kakarot to Earth to escape the imminent Saiyan genocide)

Caluppa - Elite Soldier who has served since King Cold's leadership of the army and had apparently trained at least 8000 soldiers over the course of his career.

Fargo - A Namekian survivor who was found and raised by the Frieza Force as a child. A playable character in Dragon Ball Fusions.

Froze - A Earthling who uses the Frieza Clan Hero in Super Dragon Ball Heroes and is a member of Great Saiyaman 3's Dragon Ball Heroes Team who becomes a member of the game world Frieza Force in World Mission during an anomalous version of the Battle on Planet Namek where he convinces Frieza he is a new recruit and joins him in confronting the Shadow Dragons of the Namekian Dragon Balls created by an anomaly in the game world timeline. After they defeat them, Frieza promotes Froze and tasks him with overseeing the invasion of Namek. Froze however uses this opportunity to return to his reality allowing the game world timeline to return to normal.

Melone - A Chef who became a Frieza Force Soldier who was assigned to join the invasion of Planet Namek. Went defunct after going AWOL to search for rare fruits, befriending Gohan and Krillin following the defeat of the Ginyu Force. A green skinned, red haired variant of the Frieza Force Officer and Sub Story character in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

After a massive Timespace Rift is created by Tekka and Pinich wish to Shenron for a tournament to determine the strongest in Time and space resulting in the Timespace Tournament, the Ginyu Force searches for Frieza who is still trapped in Earth's Hell following his failed revenge and second death. Various Frieza Force members from various timelines and eras appear within the Timespace Rift. (in Dragon Ball Fusions)

Zarbon and Dodoria seek out the various Frieza Force members within the rift and new Frieza Force recruits from among the various fighters within the Timespace Rift to join the Frieza Force.

Tekka's Team (Tekka, Ziku, Kid Trunks, Kid Goku, Goten, and Pan) befriend the Ginyu Force unaware of their affiliation to Frieza. Tekka's Team help the Ginyu Force out by breaking the barrier around Frieza's Spaceship where the Ginyu Force suspects Frieza is trapped. Unfortunately Tekka's Team finds the ship empty.

Tekka's Team reports their findings to a grateful Captain Ginyu.

The Ginyu Force teaches Five-Way Fusion to Tekka's Team as a reward. The Ginyu Force learns Metamoran Fusion Dance when Goten and Trunks show off their fusion technique to form Gotenks. An inspired Captain Ginyu names the powerful fusion produced by Five-Way Fusion as Ultra Fusion.

Ziku detects a large power signature near Frieza's Spaceship. Hoping its Frieza, the Ginyu Force investigates with Tekka's Team. Ziku discovers the signature is coming from another dimension.

Tekka opens a time hole with Burst Ki, inadvertently freeing the cocooned Frieza from Hell, reviving him in the process. Tekka, Kid Goku and Pan meet Frieza for the first time while Trunks and Goten remember him from Frieza's revenge.

Recongizing Goten and Trunks from his revenge, as well as learning Kid Goku is Goku's younger self, Frieza orders a somewhat reluctant Captain Ginyu to kill his newfound "saviors" despite Ginyu admitting they helped free him though Frieza recognizes they did so unintentionally.

Jeice and Guldo perform Fusion Dance to fuse into Gulce while Recoome and Burter fuse into Recurter.

Frieza declines Captain Ginyu request to perform the fusion dance together forcing Ginyu, Gulce, and Recurterto take on Tekka's Team. Tekka's Team defeats Captain Ginyu and his fused teammates.

Frieza and the Ginyu Force retreat leaving behind Frieza's Spaceship.

Kid Trunks has his mother modify the abandoned Spaceship for Tekka's Team to use as a mobile base for travelling within the Timespace Rift.

Bulma and the Capsule Corporation introduces a new invention called a Metamo-Ring which allows for a new type of Fusion called EX-Fusion.

Cell joins forces with Frieza after he and his team of Cells are defeated by Adult Goku and Tekka's Team.

The Ginyu Force teaches Five-Way Fusion to Frieza and Cell who join the team of Tekka's rival and Vegeta's new student to take part in the Tournament.

The Ginyu Force enters the Tournament and fights Tekka's Team but is once again defeated.

Pinich becomes a Super Saiyan after seeing Tekka lose to Gogeta before they can fight.

Inspired by Pinich's transformation, Tekka summons their strength to stand up to Gogeta, unleashing their hidden power with a mighty surge of energy. Tekka's Team manages to defeat Gogeta.

Pinich's Team faces off against Tekka's Team during the semifinals. Frieza and Cell tempt a reluctant Pinich, Wanta, and Paprika to perform Five-Way Fusion.

Pinich's Team fuses with Five-Way Fusion, creating a unique Ultra Fusion named Ultra Pinich which Frieza and Cell control while effectively holding the fellow fusees Pinich, Wanta, and Paprika hostage.

Frieza and Cell control Ultra Pinich and charge up a Death Spirit Bomb to destroy the stadium while Pinich speaks through Ultra Pinich begging Tekka to flee. Super Saiyan Blue Goku joins the confrontation with Ultra Pinich.

Shenron with help from the Ultra Fusion of Tekka's Team is able to open the Time Hole allowing the Ultra Fusion of Tekka's Team to chase after Ultra Pinich.

Tekka's Team confront Ultra Pinich at Kami's Lookout. Ultra Pinich uses a Power Ball to transform into Great Ape Ultra Pinich. With Pinich's help, Tekka's Team defeats Great Ape Ultra Pinich causing him to defuse after falling through a portal that reverses all fusions including Ultra Pinich's fusion and Tekka's EX-Fusion (if fused at all).

Defeated once more, Cell and Frieza use EX-Fusion to fuse into Celluza to take revenge on Tekka and Pinich who respond by performing EX-Fusion as well.

Tekka and Pinich's EX-Fusion uses True RA Pinich Punch to defeat Celluza. Pinich, Wanta, and Paprika join Tekka's Team to take on the Legendary Champion and win the Timespace Tournament.

Tekka's Team takes down the entire Ginyu Force all at once. (Dragon Ball Fusions Sub-Event)

Frieza and Cell return but decide to take on Tekka's Team by themselves individually. Cell is defeated once more and Tekka's Team defeat Golden Frieza. (Dragon Ball Fusions Sun-Events)

Frieza, Ginyu Force, and Nappa are revived by Porunga during Android 21 conflict and end up joining forces with the revived Cell (and Z Fighters in one iteration of said conflict) to combat the Red Ribbon Army's new de facto leader, Android 21 as well as seek revenge on the Z Fighters (in Dragon Ball FighterZ)

Second mission to revive Frieza – Frieza's Army remnants time travel back to Age 762, and at the same time they work in Age 1000, both aiming to bring Frieza back.

Trivia

The names of Frieza's Elite are based on food and beverages that are commonly found in grocery stores such as fruits, those of the Ginyu Force are related to milk, the names of Frieza's Subordinates are related to fish, and those of Cooler's Armored Squad are puns on condiments and salad dressings.

In the lead up to the release of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, the Frieza Force were given their own recruitment video which featured anti-Saiyan propaganda, mentioned the names they were known by, and stated that the Frieza Force were in association with the Red Ribbon Army.

There was also several dossiers released with information on the Frieza Force's enemies.

In the Funimation dub, the Ginyu Force mention a bowling tournament they participate in. It is also mentioned by Recoome and Jeice that they receive dentistry and paid vacations.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Appule and Raspberry hope to rise up the ranks so they can have get assigned their own planet and henchmen to order around, or at the very least get a pay raise so they can go out and order some fancy food. Thus it is implied that higher ranking members receive better pay and positions though they must prove themselves and work hard to maintain their position which is implied to be difficult as in-fighting is know to occur among the high ranking members and leadership, which lead to shifts in power though some are known to use this to their advantage to increase their prestige and rank provided they are part of the wining faction. Additionally, there is also the high mortality rate for failure which is especially common for new recruits and lower ranking members, though Frieza does offer reprieves to high ranking and loyal subordinates though they must once again work to earn his favor and even Frieza notes that further failure is likely to result in literal termination, showing that even these reprieves are rare and limited. The Future Warrior's raising up the ranks while working undercover helps give some insight to what day to day life in the Frieza Force is like and the in-fighting apparently helps ensure the weaker members are weeded out while the stronger and smarter ones are rewarded provided they do well enough to be recognized or at the very least maintain their positions as well as encourage them not to become complacent because of their high ranking positions. Those that do well may even be sought out to be recruited by Captain Ginyu into the Ginyu Force or by Cooler into his Armored Squadron.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Captain Ginyu reveals to Goku in a special event that the Frieza Force provides a great healthcare package, cutting edge medical equipment, top-of-the-line Battle Armor, and if members do well in battle they get their own planet as a bonus. However, Goku points out that Vegeta gets all that stuff as Bulma's husband (with the notable exception of the planet bonus) in addition to getting his own Gravity Chamber and lots of food, without having to work for any of it as he just trains all day. This causes the Ginyu Force members to become jealous of Vegeta's lifestyle.

In Broly, it is revealed by Berryblue that Frieza killed many soldiers that dare mock his short height causing such talk about Frieza's height a taboo among Frieza Force veterans such as Lemo who is quick to warn his newbie partner Cheelai to watch her tongue when she off-handedly mentions she heard rumors Frieza was short.

Lemo also tells Cheelai Frieza's killed Frieza Force personnel for far less, even once melting a lieutenant (or several personnel in the original Japanese) for having bad breath.

However Frieza can be more forgiving to his trusted aids as he does not kill Berryblue or Kikono for talking about his height in relation to his decision to wish to be five centimeters taller. Additionally, in the past Frieza tolerated Ginyu Force member Guldo's bad breath. Ironically at the end of the film, Frieza decides to overlook Cheelai and Lemo open defection and flight to hide out with Broly on Vampa, hoping they might be able to "tame" Broly for him.
